There are several modders out there that will take your stock Zen and take it to any level that you want it.
80? I kind of doubt that. 50's maybe. That's a lot of hull to move.

when my friend sent his up there it ran in the mid 80's and kept up with his scarab on the straight runs but it ate up gas.
